your guess is just that, a guess. of course the engine of the M3 was not made for DCT but instead with DCT in mind, just as the M5/M6 were both designed with SMG in mind due to its high revving nature. infact, a 6MT was not even planned until MT diehards in the US insisted on it.
i love MT's as much as anyone but for the M3, DCT just feels right
